Remember that time the DOOM dev team violently destroyed a chair which they'd turned into an effigy of Rebecca Heineman after contractual issues left her unable to do the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D?
Cuz that's a thing that happened.

I just learned that John Carmack misgendered and deadnamed Rebecca Heineman in his "tribute" over on Twitter. He probably thinks it's okay when talking pre-transition days, but FYI, most trans people hate that. Worse, he never calls her "she," switching to "they" for recent memories. Fuck that guy.

disappointed that game devs are bringing back ps1 and ps2 era graphics without also bringing back fmv cutscenes in wildly different artstyles

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

Half Life (1998) is now as old as the first ever arcade game, Computer Space (1971) was when Half Life was released.

Rebecca Heineman passed today.
She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments.
But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness.
This is an unimaginable sadness.

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.
In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social:

Rebecca Heineman is a goddamn legend among women. She did SO much great stuff, from her impossible game ports, to tirelessly keeping the mac gaming scene alive, to making sure that the Kinect works when you're wearing a skirt, to making the worst version of DOOM kinda glorious in its own way.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.
